Re: Charter National Life Insurance Company
Charter National Variable Annuity Account
Post Effective Amendment No. 19 to Form N-4
(File Nos. 33-22925; 811-5279)
Commissioners:
On behalf of Charter National Life Insurance Company (the "Company"), and
Charter National Variable Annuity Account (the "Account"), we are transmitting
for filing a certification pursuant to paragraph (j) of Rule 497 under the
Securities Act of 1933. In this regard, we certify that the form of the
Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") for the variable annuity contracts
offered by the Company through the Account that would have been filed under
paragraph (c) of Rule 497 would not have differed from that contained in the
above-referenced registration statement for the Account. That registration
statement was filed electronically with the Commission on April 30, 1999.
If you have any questions or comments on this filing, please contact the
undersigned at (202) 383-0158 or Mary Jane Wilson-Bilik at (202) 383-0660.
Sincerely,
/s/ Stephen E. Roth
